One year Non-Transferrable Limited Warranty
What is covered: Radio Systems Australia Pty Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “Radio Systems”) warrants to the original retail purchaser, and not any other purchaser or subsequent owner, that its product, when subject to normal and proper residential use, will be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the purchase date. An “original retail consumer purchaser” is a person or entity who originally purchases the product, or a gift recipient of a new product that is unopened and in its original packaging.

Service, Radio Systems covers labor and parts for one year of ownership; after the first year, a service or upgrade charge will apply relative to replacement of the product with new or refurbished items at Radio Systems’ sole discretion.
The limited warranty is non-transferrable and shall automatically terminate if the original retail consumer purchaser resells the Radio Systems Product or transfers the property on which the Radio Systems Product is installed. This limited warranty excludes accidental damage due to dog chews; lightning damage; or neglect, alteration, and misuse. Consumers who purchase products outside of Australia, New Zealand, or from an unauthorized dealer will need to return the product to the original place of purchase for any warranty issues.
